[Exclusive] Here’s your first look at Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with world’s smallest ISOCELL JN1 selfie camera
Yup! We’ve arrived with yet another massive exclusive news, which shows us a glimpse over the top variant of Samsung’s next year’s Galaxy S flagship series. Following the recent discussions regarding the 2022’s Galaxy S22 lineup, emerging concept creator HoiINDI has created digital product images showing the possible design of the company’s upcoming Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone.
The most important change from its predecessor, Galaxy S21 Ultra is the tiny punch hole cutout on the display for the selfie camera (Samsung says it Infinity-O display). It’s noteworthy that HoiINDI decided to use the company’s recently launched ISOCELL JN1 50MP image sensor as its selfie camera, the world’s smallest camera sensor to date.
According to the high-resolution concept render, the Galaxy S22 Ultra features a bezel-less 6.81-inch Infinity-O Super AMOLED display with LTPO backplane technology. However, we were expecting that the next Galaxy S flagships will feature invisible selfie camera tech, but the concept suggests another Galaxy S series could come with the traditional punch-hole display.
Furthermore, the render reveals that the Galaxy S22 Ultra uses a slightly reduced curved display compared to the previous generations, which could be a big development as part of decreasing the mistouch errors that occur because of curved edge displays. Obviously, it has volume rockers and a power button on the right side.
If we go with yet another Galaxy S22 Ultra concept render, it shows off a full-view screen, thanks to the Samsung ISOCELL JN1 image sensor that has the smallest pixel size of any 50MP smartphone sensor ever at 0.64 microns. At the same time, the device has a slimmer chin in order to deliver a true-flagship smartphone experience.
If the South Korean tech giant uses its latest ISOCELL image sensor as the selfie camera of the Galaxy S22 series, it will be the company’s best try to offer an under-display camera-like functionality without compromising with image quality. However, industry insiders believe that under-display camera technology has not yet developed to work without demoting the image quality.
You can also take a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra renders through the official Twitter account of HoiINDI and do follow him on Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, and YouTube for more such innovations.

Samsung ISOCELL JN1 50MP image sensor
Launched on June 10, 2021, the ISOCELL JN1 is Samsung’s most versatile image sensor, which is equipped with Smart-ISO in order to enhance the dynamic range. It can also change the conversion gain according to the illuminance level of the environment.
Samsung claims that smartphones equipped with ISOCELL JN1 will enable users to take highly detailed selfies or group pictures in an amazing 50MP resolution as well as high-resolution video at up to 4K. Furthermore, it also reduces the camera module’s height by 10% for the phone’s classy back panel.

2 More Samsung devices end their software update support
Along with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G, Samsung has officially ended software update support for two more Galaxy devices – the Galaxy M51 phone and Galaxy Tab A7 tablet. This means that these devices will no longer receive any software updates.
Both the Samsung Galaxy M51 and Galaxy Tab A7 were launched in 2020 and came pre-installed with Android 10. They received updates up to Android 12, and are not eligible for more Android updates. Now, these devices have completed their software update cycle.
Although these devices still work well for everyday tasks, users will not get any new features or security patches. This lack of updates can make the devices outdated, as they will not receive important improvements.
Samsung Galaxy M51 and Galaxy Tab A7 have reached the end of their update cycle, after receiving 4 years of updates. Now, users of these devices can think about upgrading to newer models to enjoy the latest features and better security.
Still, both devices are secure and functional for everyday use. The devices run Android 12 and support all major apps, including those for banking, so users can continue to perform their daily tasks without issues. If you want to enjoy the new and advanced features of One UI, newer Samsung models are required.

Bye-Bye Monthly Updates: Popular Galaxy A series phone shifts to Quarterly plan
Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is a well-loved smartphone in the Galaxy A series that has now shifted from a monthly to a quarterly update plan. This means that users of this device will now receive software updates every three months instead of every month.
The Korean tech giant has recently announced its revised update schedule for its Galaxy devices, which places the Galaxy A52s 5G in the Quarterly update category.
Launched in 2021, the Galaxy A52s 5G came with Android 11 pre-installed. Since then, it has received three major Android updates and runs on Android 14 with One UI 6.1. However, the device will no longer be eligible for additional major Android OS updates. Users will still receive security updates, which will now be provided every three months.
While the Galaxy A52s 5G will continue to function properly, the shift to a quarterly update schedule means that users may not have access to the latest features and security enhancements as quickly as before.
If you own a Galaxy A52s and are considering an upgrade, you can look at newer Samsung models like the Galaxy A54 and A55. These devices will provide monthly updates and newer features to ensure you stay updated with the latest technology.
Moreover, Samsung has recently launched the Galaxy A16 5G smartphone. It is the first budget phone to offer six years of Android upgrades, providing software support until 2030. This makes the A16 5G an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.
Don’t forget, the Galaxy A52s will remain a reliable smartphone even after a new quarterly update plan.
